My brother has an NRI status and has received dividends from HDFC Mutual Fund for Rs 6531 u/s 196A and TDS @ 20.8%+ is deducted and deposited as per 26AS. As per my understanding this amount needs to be entered either in Sch - Other Sources (OS) or in sub-section 115A(1)(a)(i)- Dividends in case of non-residents under Schedule -SI (Income Chargeable at Special Rate). But in the AIS Summary the amount is shown in Schedule -SI (Special income) under 'Income received in respect of units of UTI purchased in Foreign Currency u/s 115A(1)(a)(iii)' which is leading to tax liability of Rs 1359 i.e., equivalent to 20.8% of dividend income.
My brother has total taxable income ( from dividend and saving bank interest) of Rs. 120,000 during the FY 2023-24 hence accordingly he should be eligible for full TDS refund but in this case his refund amount is getting reduced by the tax liability of Rs. 1359 occurred due to mutual fund dividend income reported under u/s 115A(1)(a)(iii) of Schedule -SI.
Please advise the correct way of reporting this particular income in ITR.
Thanks for your time and help.

Is a return of income processed by CPC u/s 143(1) subject to audit by CAG while auditing the assessments made by the Jurisdiction Assessing Officer?

The audit party carries out audit of assessments made by the Assessing Officer to check if there is any leakage of revenue.

Facts : a return of income of a company was filed well within the due date and the same was processed by CPC with no demand no refund. There has not been a scrutiny assessment against this return. While carrying out audit at the office of the jurisdictional assessing officer. A scrutiny assessment of a return of succeeding year was done by JAO and while audit of that assessment the audit party found that there has been an amalgamation of another company in the preceding year in terms of approved scheme and shares were allotted to the shareholders of the amalgamating company. The audit objection is with reference to valuation of shares.
